It is extremely important for my Great Work to expound My school
of thought. My former essay on Volitional Awareness was an attempt to inspire
my disciples with this concept. Part of My Great Work is to elaborate carefully
on Volitional Consciousness, show how it manifests from empathy with the
Book of the Law and observe it very carefully.

Please note that a complete school of thought is not simply an insight.
An insight is only the cell. Volitional Consciousness is the body that constitutes
a new Tree of Life much more closely corresponding to the Book
of the Law.

With this new school of thought you awaken to consciousness in a savage
and vulgar world, ( at least An XCVII when this is being written), where
strength of consciousness is not the norm for the world. It is still very
early in the Aeon of Horus and people are shocked by the sheer energy and
power of a Thelemite. The profane looks at our Law
and attempts insane and confused conclusions.

We are persecuted and hounded by not only those who are Cursed in the
Third Chapter but would be Thelemites who have not the moral courage to
vibrate with its energy. I know. My pride is seen as arrogance. My strength
is seen as ego. My words are twisted around and my rivals see only sick,
mundane death threats.

I am only known by a few thousand as a true Master. The rest of the world
cocks their eyebrow and sees lies in every insight and lecture I attempt.
At this moment I am alert to the hatred, sickness of the majority who live
their lives in the pit of because. Volitional Consciousness and its attainment
for humanity is essential for coming closer to the magical and spiritual
body of the Book of the Law. Volitional Consciousness is the magical link
which begins the process of the Greater Initiations. Like any school of
thought it will have its dangers, ordeals and curses. For to embrace this
school of thought will show the wisdom and danger of responsibility. It
will show the courage and balance of binding your words by your deeds.

The opposition will be alerted to your existence in no time at all. You
may be feared more than you are loved for we live in a world that is still
stifled by the slave lords of religion who continue to bind the free man
to the chains of dogma. So be forewarned that the more this Volitional Consciousness
awakens you, the more you will sweep the illusion of common reality with
your mighty sword. I know not thy karma. You could at any time be executed
or imprisoned for your stand on any issue.

Initiation occurring in our civilization meets with dire interference
that acts both as a test and a gauge of when to Lurk. It is not an easy
Task to awaken to consciousness for the first time and have everyone around
you still asleep. Let's look closer at this problem from the perspective
of an Initiation of a volitional nature.

Some attain to this state over the years by Communication with someone
who has already attained it. Some attain to this state by constantly reading
the Book of the
Law without studying it.

All attain it eventually if they do magick enough and become the dominant
master of their circle.

With Volitional consciousness comes direct empathy with Thelemic Communication
and the discipline laid out by the Hierarchy. (Whether you are a member
of a magical order or not the concept of "Hierarchy" will come
into play.) We are energizing the "word of the Law" in our consciousness
by using qelhma directly to boldly confront every situation that we deem
necessary.

How does this change the normal, mundane aspirant whose walk of life
has been for all intents and purposes purely a manifestation of a slave
current? Easy, that aspirant would be awakening to a new perspective where
he does not react to the same stimuli as that aspirant did before the energizing.
Suddenly, any enslaving influence that is encountered becomes an obstacle
in the path of the true will of the aspirant. The mundane aspirant, once
content to permit others to rule him, observe him, stand in front of him
and remark of him becomes suspect of being a hindrance to the next step.
If this Initiation has occurred this person is changed FOREVER.

We have now defined much more clearly what the ancients mean when they
referred to our male Adepts as "beast". To avoid the cumbersome
dogma that has clearly been attached to the name "beast" by uncivilized
creatures like Gnostic and roman christians this consciousness is referred
to (not only as a convenient alternative definition but as an expression
of an entirely new school of thought) as "volitional consciousness"
We encourage scientists, either in the branch of psychology or other outer
sciences to study it by the method of science.

Now then, when this "volitional consciousness" occurs in a
female adept in the western esoteric system we refer to her casually as
a Sorceress and formally as a Scarlet Women. The female undergoing this
transformation no longer reacts to the same stimuli in the same fashion.
She experiences nearly all the same mystical experiences from direct contact
with these forces already described. The situation is slightly changed,
however, for we are observing the changes in a female of our species and
not a male.

Yes, the women whose initiations have manifested within her being have
given her real revelations on how she must proceed to the next step of her
path. She must know the law of her breeding and observe the warning of the
Warrior God or her child will be slain. This rule and law is clearly laid
forth in the Book of the Law. Only the most brave of the females have the
moral courage to do what needs to be done. According to the rules that Aiwass
commands us her failure results in the cold, dusk, wet streets where she
dies cold and an-hungered.

Fortunately, so few women have the courage to take this route that very
few woman see this dire fate. Its certainly a joy to see the spirit of rebellion
that make's a woman's eyes sparkle as they venture forth to the "pinnacles
of power". A woman who has gained this volitional consciousness has
shifted her bio-magical-system so radically that it will affect her next
new born. The newborn will be born with a strong seed of the "beast"
and will grow up as a mighty king. Now the volitional consciousness that
this child will attain will be infinitely more energized that a Master like
myself who grew into it rather than was born into it.

Such magical children can do more in twenty-five year period than others
not born like Him could do in two hundred years. Racial initiation is of
course advanced in strength and courage. This means the entire human race
evolves faster if the child is born under proper conditions.

Herein is the beginning of true freedom. No Government is capable of
taking away this freedom. This freedom resides in the core of the star of
the aspirant. How can I describe this? One's soul is on rampage against
slavery. The deepest tricks of Government are stripped naked before you.
You feel dominant before the face of adventure. Your self-confidence increases.
You stride down a street like God Incarnate has erupted within your being.
The energy does not cease. Magical Powers appear and disappear. Visions
awaken. Your eyes open wide. And suddenly...

You read your own words in a letter addressing others and realize you
are in complete control of what you have said. You cannot lie to yourself
anymore. The frankness that has started to become apparent to others seems
strict and demanding.

You continue to see what this new magical personality will teach you
about existence. The revelation that others in the past, who have attained
this state, have met with disaster is realized. You feel this strong urge
that you have become too strong for the world. You realize you either Lurk
or become known as a tyrant. For the average human being follows the herd
so closely that " qelhma awakened" for them is the same as being
possessed by the devil or a madman issuing death threats or a mystic converting
to some strange, unknown, mad sorcery.

"I'm acting like the Book of the Law tells us", you whisper
to yourself wondering why they cannot see what you have seen and felt. In
time you realize that your critics are nothing more than gossips that have
never seen the first Great Initiation and they fear you. They suspect or
speculate you've become a black brother or have entered a world of madness
which there is no apparent return. Yet, how can they distinguish? They cannot
view the planes properly. No real perspective has been imparted to them
from the higher planes. The observer who has not attained thinks in one
dimension, his ego is totally and completely out of control. Suddenly you
are living in an asylum with you as the only person sane.

No doubt, a student eventually comes along and proves he or she has started
the process within himself by showing you a letter. You realize that he
or she has found that lost treasure of volition and is returning to a strength
that is linked to the greatest of primal survival. You then rest easy that
another star has brightened its light in the universe of stars, which we
have come to know as Our Goddess Nuit!

A few of Us exist. A few of Us have awakened to this Volitional Consciousness.
Behold, We are like Gods that walk the earth!
